"Sorry about her," Michael said, his face showing no emotion but his voice sounded genuine. Xin couldn't help but think that Michael was incredibly charismatic. "Its fine, Mr. Fey. It's already a miracle that Lady Seraphina joined us for lunch today," Evelyn replied. "You're right. She often doesn't want to have lunch with me." Michael leaned over, resting his chin on his intertwined fingers, his gaze fixed on Xin. "I wonder what made her change her mind." Both Evelyn and Xin resumed eating,…

"Lady Seraphina. It's nice to see you again," Evelyn began and stood up, but Seraphina interrupted with a firm command. "Sit." Yep. He could see the resemblance. Xin thought. She must be Michael's daughter. Observing her closely, Xin estimated that Seraphina was older than him. Hers was a harsh austere beauty with purple eyes. Her long, flowing light blue hair almost appeared white under the room's bright lights. She was dressed in a tight light blue dress that hugged her figure, adorned…

As Xin and his mother arrived at the designated restaurant, he couldn't help but notice the grandeur of the building. It stood tall and elegant, with a sign displaying its name in bold letters. However, Evelyn had forgotten to mention one crucial detail – this was no ordinary restaurant. This was a five-star Michelin-awarded Japanese restaurant. When they stepped inside, Xin was in awe though his face remained impassive. The interior was opulent, adorned with intricate decorations and luxurious…

In the vast virtual world of Guildbane, guilds were abundant and played a vital role in the game. Being part of the top one hundred guilds was considered an achievement in itself, given the sheer number of guilds that existed. However, the top ten guilds stood on an entirely different level. They were in a league of their own, with prestigious sponsors backing them and access to the best equipment and resources money had to offer. These guilds had a reputation for excellence and were highly sought…

Hmm . . . Xin thought about what she said carefully and decided to go with the auction. "Great! How many days should we keep the auction running? Keep in mind that the longer the auction run, the higher the potential price for your items, as more people will have a chance to bid. However, we have a maximum limit of one week." Xin needed the money, so he said, "Tomorrow at . . . ten in the morning?" He wasn't sure if that was a good time or not. "Alright, tomorrow at ten in the morning it is. Just…

Drasta beamed. "Where are you headed next, if I might ask?" "To a shop." "Are you going to sell your items?" Xin nodded. "Then I suggest you head to the Adventurer's guild. Every town has one. It's a place where players can trade and sell their items, and you might get a better price for your things there. They also provide assistance to players and have new quests posted on a daily basis, so it's worth checking out." Xin could only nod in return. With a cheerful expression, Drasta…

As Xin approached the floating rock, he could hear the distressed cries of several axe beaks. Six of the large birds were struggling to pull ropes attached to a crane-like mechanism that controlled a massive wooden lift. However, the chains connected to the lift were mostly rusty and covered in moss, causing them to screech with each turn of the pulleys. The angry elf, looking like a young adult, yelled at the engineers and soldiers nearby. "That's it for today! We're just wearing out the animals.…

Xin felt puzzled and decided to check his . He was taken aback to see that it was already full, even though he had only been playing the game for about an hour and a half. He noticed that he could save up to x99 items in his storage, but there was a catch — he couldn't stack multiple copies of the same item together. Curiosity struck Xin as he wondered if this was the maximum limit for his Inventory. Seeking an answer, he searched through his in-game Library and quickly found information about the…

Xin opened his mouth, but Triton was quick to add, "After the invading empire faced defeat against the Baskan mage's powerful magic, their entire fleet was considered destroyed. But amidst the chaos, two ships managed to survive the storm, only to crash into nearby reefs. Though the ships overturned, the calm sea allowed around thirty survivors to cling to the reefs and salvage what they could from the wreckage. They constructed rafts and set off to find a new home. "Sadly, their only source of food,…

"Seagull's Nest is a town that is being built again. It is surrounded by high areas of land that stick out into the sea and has cliffs along the coast. The town sits on top of these cliffs and has a view of a bay that is known to be dangerous," explained Triton as they walked towards the town. "Seagull's Nest has a unique landscape with some old remains from the Baskan kingdom and big rocks. The town has a population of around 8,000 people, including visitors. Most of the residents are humans and…
